A Sad Statistic

Statistics Canada says 100,039 Canadian women had an abortion in 2004, the last year for which statistics are available. Another 337,072 did not have an abortion.

According to the Guttmacher Institute and the World Health Organization, about 40% of pregnancies in development countries -- including Canada -- are unintended. Both organizations say 28% of all unintended pregnancies in developed countries end in abortion.

Unintended? The new convenient word to cover up the irresponsible behaviour?
When one is hot and bothered, in my experience, the thought of the possibility of pregnany is upfront so if one(should say two) continue their merry way thru the act of intercourse pregnancy is a very high probability.
The point of deciding to follow thru is obviously quite intentional.
There is really only one way to get pregnant.
Abortion is intentional as well.

This is a very sad statistic.

Watch for the demontrolls to come squawking now, neo.

Killing kids that parents don't want. That's the deal - a little honesty would be nice by the pro choice side. Kill all day long, just call it what it is.
